The Hyperscope project died, apparently. I had to use the wayback machine to retrieve the source code but it builds on a couple of obsolete technologies (client side xslt and a javascript framework that's evolved well beyond the point

For those interested archive.org has a much higher quality version of the recording [1] as well as a recording of the 1969 followup demo that explains in greater detail how the text editor works [2]. I really wish we could try NLS/Augm

Looking it up on Merriam Webster the S&M definition isn't even there I wonder how much that is actually used amongst "normal people".

Sure, but why? Why not have them learn english and another language more useful than a dying one?

Storing away all of geocities for future reference is a good thing. Having every children memorize passages from geocities would be pointless and no one does it. Having them learn a dead language is cruel, you are wasting their time to make

It would be impossible to do. Even back in 1991 when unicode was conceived almost all the encodings in use were ASCII-compatible. For languages that would be affected by a greco-unification that meant the encodings that were in use before u

I've been using linux for about as long as you, I still enjoy spending time trying to figure out why things broke about as much as I did back then (which means not much). My impression is that figuring things out is getting a lot harde

I don't understand why multiseat support keeps getting brought up in systemd-related discussions. It seems to me like an entirely artificial problem, all I have ever seen is computers that are used by at most one user at a time and mu

If we could instead abolish leap seconds, DST, time zones that are a fraction of one hour and forbid any country from changing timezone we would be much better off than abolishing timezones.

Rust is probably the best programming language I will never use. Most of the chances I get to experiment with new languages is in small and/or personal projects. None of those projects ever benefit from manual memory management so the

Two stroke is more fuel efficient at low rpm. You want low rpm so you can connect it directly to the propeller shaft without gears.

ESR is wrong on this point. Not completely wrong, I can imagine a world where things went differently and his assessment was correct but it's not the world we live in. Plan 9 "failed" because it spent almost 2 decades between

You would probably be better served by writing a 2 lines bash script to call sshfs and have it mounted through fuse. I don't see a point in going through GIO monstrosity for this.

SSRI take 2~3 week to take effect, for some (AFAIK unknown) reason, a few hours in a hypobaric chamber would not be conclusive.

I don't see how PHP is a platform like the other platforms you mention. Also Python is very successful, Perl is very successful, Debian was very successful in its time. Your argument does not seem to be corroborated by facts.

I didn't see this until now, the problem is that when you spawn a new thread space for the stack needs to be allocated. Since the stack can't be reallocated easily in C/C++ it also needs to be "big enough". The curr

In principle it shouldn't execute anything, it's only supposed to parse functions. The problem is that it's such an obscure feature I bet almost no-one knew it existed, the many eyes didn't exist in this case.
